Shizen no Kokyou. (Shinobu x Male Reader) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 33

Douma stares at Shinobu in surprise.

Douma: Just now... she was faster than ever before... and her breathing style, it was completely different too...! Her blade isn't meant to cut, and yet...!

He looks at his chest as he sees the cut healing.

Douma: She cut me...!

He looks back at Shinobu while gritting his teeth.

Shinobu: Nature Breathing! Fourth form! Peaceful Wind!

A swift wind passes Douma, as he suddenly jumps out of the way.

Once he gets to a certain distance, he notices that his neck was cut from the side.

Douma: Impressive! You're really something else, aren't you?! Tell me your name, lady! I wish to remember you!

Shinobu: My name...? Don't bother remembering it since you won't live long to remember it in the first place!

Back with Y/N, he keeps running, until he comes up against a demon. A certain pink haired demon, to be precise.

Y/N's eyes land upon the demon's eye as he growls and his hand goes to his sword instinctively.

Meanwhile, with Tanjiro and Giyuu, the two were running when they hear a crow's announcement.

Crow: CAW! CAW! THE NATURE HASHIRA! Y/N L/N! HAS ENCOUNTERED AN UPPER RANK DEMON! CAW!

Tanjiro: Huh?!

Y/N's breathing gets hazier and hazier by every second as his eyes glare into the Kanji of the demon's eyes.

A flash of Rengoku smiling comes to his mind.

Crow: THE UPPER RANK KIZUKI THREE!

Y/N: *growling* Á̶̝̙K̸̲̽̏A̶̜͑Z̵̩͇̅͝Ǎ̴͚.̸͕̐.̵̨͉̀̋.̴̦̒!̷̱͋̈́

Akaza smiles at Y/N.

Akaza: Oh? Am I famous? Well, I suppose killing dear old Rengoku might've given me some-

Before he could finish, Y/N dashes towards Akaza as Y/N remembers another conversation he recently had.

This time, it was a yellow haired young slayer. Zenitsu Agatsuma.

-flashback-

Y/N: So, you just simply made three whole variations of the first form of Thunder Breathing? Just like that?

Zenitsu nods.

Y/N: That's seriously impressive, you know Zenitsu?

Zenitsu blushes from the sudden praise.

Zenitsu: I-It's not THAT good...

Y/N: Are you seriously selling yourself that short? I think that the fact that you practically made not one, but three whole new forms of Thunder Breathing is seriously impressive.

Zenitsu: *blushing* Well, you're not exactly bad either, are you? You made a whole new breathing technique.

Y/N smiles at the boy.

Y/N: Well, it took me WAY longer than you to just create ONE form, you know? The six forms are hardwork of years, but you seemingly creating these variants in the span of merely a year.

Zenitsu starts to scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.

Zenitsu: Maybe... but I'll never be as good as Kaigaku or Gramps.

Y/N: Hmm?

Zenitsu: Oh, right. Kaigaku is my senior. We both trained under the guidance of the former thunder Hashira, or, as I call him, Gramps.
